HILLSDALE

Nyloncraft of Michigan is expanding in Fayette Township, just north of the city of Hillsdale, with support from the Michigan Strategic Fund, the Michigan Economic Development Corp. announced Thursday. The expansion is expected to generate $4.7 million in new private investment and add 42 new jobs.

“Nyloncraft is an important employer in Hillsdale County, and its investment means Michigan residents will get good jobs that could have gone to other states,” said MEDC President and CEO Michael A. Finney. “It is through the efforts of the Economic Development Partnership of Hillsdale County and Fayette Township that this expansion is taking place, and we are pleased to support the collaboration.”

Nyloncraft of Michigan, headquartered in Mishawaka, Ind., specializes in injection molded technologies. The company plans to discontinue operations at its Fort Wayne, Ind., facility and transfer manufacturing to its facility in Hillsdale County. The expansion is aided by

a $150,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant. Fayette Township is to offer support in the form of a property tax abatement.
